Mercenary’s War
Chapter 141 - 141 One Hundred and Forty Calling the Thug

141: Chapter One Hundred and Forty Calling the Thug 141: Chapter One Hundred and Forty Calling the Thug Following the trail that led them alongside the outskirts of Tayr Hunay, Gao Yang and his team had traced the tracks to a point very close to the outskirts of the city, approximately seven or eight hundred meters away.

Gao Yang stopped again, pointed to a cluster of buildings in the suburbs, and said, “The convoy made another turn here, and if I’m not mistaken, they should be in those buildings over there.”

The buildings Gao Yang pointed out were slightly apart from the main city, forming a small, relatively isolated complex.

Gao Yang and Li Jinfang lay on the ground, peering toward the cluster of buildings.

They saw no signs of movement, but when Gao Yang aimed his heat imaging scope at the location, he was startled.

On the rooftops and in the corners between the buildings, there were at least thirty or forty stationary red figures.

Gao Yang handed his gun to Li Jinfang and whispered, “Take a look, I think we’re in the right place no doubt about it.

There are more than thirty sentries in sight, and definitely more that we can’t see.”

After taking a look through Gao Yang’s scope, Li Jinfang said in a deep voice, “This must be the place, but it’s heavily guarded.

Just a few of us won’t cut it.”

After mulling it over for a moment, Gao Yang said, “Let’s retreat for a bit, I have a plan.

As long as they don’t move, it’s fine to just keep an eye on this place.”

The two retreated a few hundred meters and then Gao Yang used his radio to inform Cui Bo and his team.

He then made another phone call to Morgan.

Once the call connected, Gao Yang went straight to the point, “I can now almost confirm that Abdul is in Tayr Hunay.

Although I’m not completely certain, I want to try a forceful rescue.

What can you do now, or rather, how many men can you mobilize?”

Morgan’s angry voice came through the phone.

“Bad news, I’ve already notified those damn opposition parties.

I reached out to three groups with whom I have a working relationship; they are all in Tripoli, but not a single one is willing to help rescue Abdul.

They’re talking about finding Gaddafi and Hamis in Tripoli, but those bastards just want to claim territory there and don’t want to split their forces during this crucial time.

It’s infuriating; I have no other option.

I’m trying to contact mercenaries.

If I can’t find a mercenary group willing to take this on quickly, I’ll have my own men do it!

Gao, help me out, please.

We absolutely need to keep an eye on Hamis’s movements.”

Morgan’s words shattered Gao Yang’s illusions.

After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, “Although those opposition parties aren’t much use, I still hoped to have plenty of cannon fodder at our disposal.

Sadly, it seems we don’t even have that now.”

Morgan said anxiously, “Damn it, it’s really infuriating.

I can’t believe I’m working with a bunch of selfish idiots, but we can only rely on ourselves now.

Gao, I plead with you to find a way to keep tabs on Hamis.

You’re the only one who can help Abdul now.”

“Abdul is my friend too, no need to mention it, I’ll think of something.

I feel like we can’t delay any longer, as Hamis could move at any time, and Abdul could be ordered killed by Hamis any moment.

I plan to rescue Abdul tonight; maybe I can try to think of a way.

Alright, let me make a few calls, stay in touch, I’ll update you if there’s news,” Gao Yang replied.

After hanging up with Morgan, Gao Yang pondered for a moment and then dialed a number on his satellite phone, hoping and praying for someone to answer.

When the call finally went through, Gao Yang said anxiously, “Hey, Green Mamba, this is Ram.”

The voice of Green Mamba came through with surprise but also evident pleasure, “Hey, buddy, what made you think of calling me?

You know I was about to get some hard-earned rest.

After several days of intense fighting, I’ve finally got a bed to sleep in.”

“Sorry to disturb your nice dream, but I just want to know, are you in Libya now?”

“Of course, I told you I’ve been through heavy fighting, buddy.

I’m in Tripoli, man, I was in on the whole fight to take Tripoli.

What about you?

Where are you, buddy?”

Gao Yang, excited, said, “This is great, I’m nearby Tripoli.

Listen, buddy, are you interested in making some quick cash?

I mean, are you interested in a fight that could be brutal but could also yield super lucrative spoils of war?”

The voice of Green Mamba suddenly became eager, saying urgently, “You’re talking about spoils not commission?

Sure, buddy.

Spoils don’t have to be shared with the bloodsucking leeches at the company.

I’m definitely interested.

Let’s hear it.”

Gao Yang lowered his voice and said, “You know, I’m currently on Hamis’s trail.

I can confirm that it’s him I’m after.”

Before Gao Yang could finish his sentence, Green Mamba said excitedly, “Buddy, there’s a bounty of five million on Hamis.

However, it’s provided by the opposition, and it’s not guaranteed to be collected.”

“Listen, there are twelve gold bars in the trunk of my car right now, which I found in a military officer’s car he didn’t have time to flee from.

What do you think, could there be gold in a convoy that Hamis is with?

Also, Hamis’s current hideout is only one kilometer away from me.

I’m sure he’s there.

Now tell me, are you interested in trying to take down his hideout and then trying to take his gold for yourself?”

“F**k, buddy, don’t mention this to anyone else.

Tell me your location, and I’ll bring all my guys over immediately.

Buddy, I know the rules.

After we find the gold, we’ll decide how to divide it based on how much we get, but the extra share for providing the info will definitely not be short, and I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.

How about that?”

“Sure, that can be arranged, but how many men do you have?

As far as I know, Hamis has no fewer than a hundred guards, and he might have added even more guards by now.

I’m not sure if a few dozen men can handle it.

I was actually hoping you would bring more people.”

“I’ll tell you, I’ve got two hundred and sixteen men right now, and we have the equipment for a siege.

I can guarantee to take down any stronghold.

For gold, we could even storm the Maginot Line.

Brother, we can’t let more people dig into our gold.

Now tell me the location, and I’ll bring my men over right away!”

After telling Green Mamba about their discovery and the coordinates of where the off-road vehicle was parked, Gao Yang thought about it and said, “Jinfang, do you think adding over two hundred more people will be enough?”

After pondering for a moment, Li Jinfang said, “It should be enough.

But we don’t have more detailed intelligence, we don’t know whether Hamis’s hideout is a fortified stronghold or just a regular house, we don’t know exactly how many troops Hamis has, and we don’t know the combat effectiveness of the people Green Mamba is bringing this time.

Overall, it’s not very safe.”

Gao Yang thought about it, nodded, and said, “You’re right, I also feel it’s not very safe.

Let me make another call.”

Gao Yang then dialed Uriyangko’s phone, and his satellite phone, which he never turned off for 24 hours, was immediately connected.

Once Uriyangko picked up, Gao Yang said at once, “Hey, it’s Ram.

You said you could provide any equipment, so do you have any armored vehicles on hand?

No, wait, hold on, let me think, um, do you have tanks available right now?”
